How does it stack up against a Burris MTAC? Both pros and cons, please?

I believe the clarity is better. I like the quick throw lever and the scope looks better on an ar than the mtac in my opinion. Ironically i bought this scope to replace a burris mtac. As far as the main benefit goes, the ffp reticle, do your own research to determine if its the thing for you. From a tactical perspective ffp is the way to go. Bottom line, I love it, and would def recommend.

Well its funny you ask...my buddy just purchased the MTAC and after testing both of them out. This is what I concluded.Clarity...Both are equaldurability...Both are equalthe only advantage I see is that the Bushnell is more compact and the reticle doesn't cover the target as much and it is easier because of the lever to switch magnification. I like my Bushnell more than his burris but he likes his over mine cause he likes the large reticle. I have no complaints and love the scope. Both do slightly bleed in super dark settings on full brightness but all you do is turn it down 3 clicks and your there. Hope this helps.Justin Lincoln Well its funny you ask...my buddy just purchased the MTAC and after testing both of them out.

Daniel, The major thing between these two is the reticle one has a first focal plane reticle (bushnell) which magnifies with your magnification setting. The MTAC has a 2nd focal plane reticle which will not adjust with your magnification. Some reviews I read about the MTAC says its way to small (i suspect not for the style of scopes we are talking about) The glass would be the next thing, personally I have not had tons of time behind a Burris scope but I typically suspect it to be clearer and better eye relief. Pros of the Bushnell 1/10 moa adjustments, BDC reticle sighted at 100 yards good out to 500 yards, Illumination is good for medium light, the quick adjust bar for magnification great for changing magnifications on the fly. Bushnell Cons High profile turrets, Illumination not good in bright lights (even though you wont need it). Mtac Pros Turret has covers and are low profile, Crisp clear glass, on off position for every brightness level of illumnation Mtac Cons Turret adjustment 1/2 MOA, Illumination not suitable for bright light (sunshine, over exposed lighting). Price of the scope I think it comes down to two things price and type of reticle. I believe the AR Optics holds over the Burris Mtac because of price, the glass is clear and I have no problems with fisheye problems. The adjustments of the AR optics allow for better sighting in. The reticle different off First focal plane (bushnell) and 2nd focal plane (Burris) is preference. I like the ar optics because I enjoy it at 1x as a small ghost ring for quick transitions, where the Burris will stay the same size through all magnifications. That is good if you intend no magnification out 100+ yards which may be your preference. Its really a hard decision because the two will get the job done, but I feel as I try to do pros and cons between them I feel they both have applications and can be very comparable. I do believe overall the bushnell is the way to go for price point and surely get the job done.

The glass is extremely clear for the price point. Very little fish eye on the 1x. Burris has amazing glass but I am still happy with my purchase. I've yet to find anything I don't like about this optic and I've been through many.

I would be wary of this mount. I tried to use it on my ar platform and could not get a good solid fit on the rail. Tried to adjust and it ended up just stripping metal from the levers. The burris mount is way better. Just my opinion. YRMV

The best thing i can tell you is to check www.trailcampro.com and see if they did a review on it.I sent the unit i had back wasn't very good day or night so i went with the Browning strike force model and Multri 990 (2013) version.But to be onest they all have some sort of quirk.

Mine worked fine with a Burris 1" scope. it is possible they packed a 30mm version in the wrong box. 30mm = 1.18 inches. enough to make a difference.

I believe it will "work," that is, it will mount on a rifle. I do not know how much rise you get with the Burris, but it looks like it will clear the rifle. On my rifle (AR) I chose a riser platform that lifts the scope a ful 1" to clear my AR charging handle, and also give me a nice upright cheek pad to rest on. Down lower, you could end up scrunching your face down for sighting. Don't know, but my guess is the Burris would be high enough, just not as high as I wanted.

I have this model and I am a truck driver. It will get you in a big bind if you rely on it for routing. It does not have the capability for entering truck dimensions along with hazmat most importantly truck legal roads. It isn't marketed as one. I also have the co-pilot truck, it is by far better. I just picked up the new Rand McNally tnd 730, awaiting it's first trip out Sunday, Chicago.. It has some very nice truck friendly features, especially what stops are at exits and amenities.. traffic is an extra $20.00 per year, I figured that it was about equal to the amount of advil that I would need otherwise.

Yes, only the quick access does not work well, if you drop it even a little bit the battery loosens, i had a lot of issues with this safe, if you want Q.A. And can afford it, i would look at the Gunvault MVB500, it has a rolling finger print reader. It is roughly 175$. I would advise as strongly as i can that this safe does not have good q.a. Features. I like my gunvault a lot.

The rail can be removed from a fixed attachment to a quick disconnect. You would have to look at Burris for other than rail (or amazon).

The action is good depending on what size bag you attach to it. The platform is pretty solid and as long as you mount it to a solid structure you should be happy with the action. It all depends on your skill level. What is fast to me may not be fast to you. I am not a boxer or novice on the speed bag but I am happy with the action.

My M&P; 15-22 has a Burris 1-4X Fullfield scope with Burris FastFire red dot attached to the top of the scope. I also have a vertical grip attached. My rifle will not fit this case with my setup as is but I can remove the vertical grip and it fits fine. My vertical grip is a G.P.S. 2 so it goes on and off quickly. Unless you're running a tall setup like mine you shouldn't have any difficulties with the fit.

I remember comparing the 2 but to me did notice glass difference to the point where I would spend the cash on the burris but people do like that scope a lot. I did notice different quality in glass when looking at the leupold 1-4 but it did not have a red dot.

I got it from the Q for under 400.00 (incl. tx, s/h) and on 5 ez-pay installments. EZ pay helps & makes up for having to pay s/h & tx. A friend of mine has 1 & he says he likes it, so I'm looking forward to receiving mine--especially for the internet apps. I still can't figure out why AMZ doesn't have it available yet. Seems it will be old technology before they get a supply.

Yes it will.Personally I would go with 3 to 9 power on a ar10.But if you know you want 1 to 4 then the Burris Mtac would hold up on that platform.

Can't really help you, originally ordered, but then I seen the Burris Eliminator. And ordered the Burris also, sold Bushnell on Ebay without ever mounting Bushnell.

Burris fastfire iii. Didn't want to mount directly to slide. Works well but don't think it will take a lot of abuse. At 50 yards, paper plates are no problem. 1-4x pistol scope would be better. 10mm with a 6.5" barrel.

I use my 5915 for geocaching. I wanted one device that I could use everyday in the car (nav, music, pda-functionality) and then could pull out for the occasional cache. I really like the program GPSTuner for offroad navigation (no affiliation, just a happy customer). I also bought a little silicon case on ebay to protect it on the trail. If you do a lot of hiking, etc, then a dedicated, more rugged GPS is probably a better bet though.
